Closing costs you should expect

There are certain normal fees accompanying closing the sale of a house. These fees are often divided between the buyer and seller, as dictated in the sales contract. Many are universal, but there are nuances to each, so you'll want a real estate expert in California to help lead you through your deal.

Sellers:  As we negotiate your transaction, not only will I work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also advocate for lower closing costs. And once we've arrived at an agreement, I'll describe in detail the closing costs so you are informed of exactly where your money is going.

Buyers: If you are buying a home in Fresno County, you will be given a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experiences and is required to be within a suitable range so you're not surprised when you get to the closing appointment. I'll be glad to look at the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that seem questionable.
